Did anybody- hear anything that
Sounded like “sjxiiitaiiictv” last
Saturday.
In about three weeks the die
will be east, and the jieople of the
State can then draw a Ion®
breath. n
The democratic party of Geor
gia is tani]iering with a very dan-
gerous animal when it takes old
man * el ton to its bosom.
Some of the papers in the Stale
have been furnished by the Tele
graph, with Felton’s speech in
supplement form, to be sent out
to their subscriber*.
Out of the 25 counties which
acted on the 1st Tncsdav, the 1st
Saturday, and last Saturday. Gui
don carries 20 and Bacon FIVE
‘•Straws you know.”
Parson Felton says he would
not vote for Gordon if he received
tlic democratic nomination, and
ret the Macon Telegraph and its
"•Echoes" say Parson Felton is a
great democrat.
Felton’s speeches are for Felton.
He was forced to speak a few min
tiles for Bacon in Monlczu tu:i, l»\
being asked by some one in tin*
audience just as lie was about to
ait down to “tell us something
about Bacon.”
B hen Gen. Gordon spoke in
Hawkinsvillc last week, the edi
tor of the Dispatch hid behind
n chimney, so he says. Tliesi
Bacon men have a knack of get
ting behind obstructions to hide
them from solid facts.
Isabella Roney, sentenced last
week at F'ort Gaines to the prni
tentiary for life, broke jail on
Tuesday night of last week and
•ucccdcd in making her escape.
She is thought, to have had as
aistance from the outside.
Does nt it look very much like
these fellows who are so anxious
to have war hi .story squelched are
the very one’s who are ashamed
of their own part in that bloody
tragedy? Come out gentlemen,
anil tell us about your bouib
proof.
Bro. Underwood, of the Camil
la Clarion, says a fellow came
down there from Atlanta, and car
ried the county for Gordon with
fifty dollars. Votes must be cheap
down there, to buy a whole county
for fifty dollars. This is less than
five cents apiece.
The Bacon papers charge that
Mitchell county was carried for
Gordon by the use of free whisky
and Atlanta “ling” money. We
presume the same charge will be
made against the Gordon party in
Randolph, should Gordon prevail
on the Cth of July. It would
show the same amount of sense
to make such a charge against
our own citizens.
IVc would suggest to onr es
teemed young friend, and corres
pendent, “Dougherty.’’ that he re
consider his expressions of c«n
detonation against a candidate,
who lias no more to do with the
cause pursued by the press or its
correspondents, than the man in
the moon. Our friend's views are
usually clear and pointed upon
aucli questions, hut upon this oc
casion lie has allowed partisan
ship—though disclaiming such a
feeling—to prejudice his opinions
This applies equally to the two
gentleman now prominently before
the people for Governor, and their
res|iective adherents.
A man’s past strength has noth
ing to do with his pros|iects at
present. The Bacon papers at
tempt to prove that their candi
date only gains or loses according
to whether he gains or loses coun
ties which east their rotes for or
against him in past elections. The
truth is Maj. Bacon is showing
bis weakness by losing four out of
every live counties that have act
cd since Gen. Gordon come iuto
the race, lie cannot hold his
band with the brilliant Gordon,
and the truth lead as well be ac
knowlcdged.
Telegraph, in behalf of Maj. B
con, in its issue ot the lOtli, de
nounces Judge John T. Clarke, as
“Another l’arlisnn Judge,-” and
pronounces him “utterly unfit and
unworthy to be trusted with the
[lowers and honors” of Judicial
position. On what ground did
the G. and G. T. utter that furi
ous denunciation? Because it was
informed, that the Judge had at
tended a consultation meeting of
Gordon's friends, as an invited
guest. The noble edi’-nr maintain
ed, that a Judge ought not to give
any of his influence to a candidate
for Governor. The proposition is
too absurd fur argument. Even
the Telegraph will never be cred
ited l»y sensible people with sin
eerily in such a position. But it
is a part of-its policy to denounce
every one, whose name and char
acter would help to commend Gor
don to the people's confidence.
To prove the iusincerit3 - of this
bitter and intolerant sheet, ob
serve its beautiful consistency:
Inits issue of the lllh, (only
next day after its violent attack
on Judge Clarke,) that pa per an
nounces, under the head of “Ba
con in Fulaski,” as follows: -“Ho
(i. e.. Bacon), was introduced by
Judge C. C. Kibbee and Col. L.
\V. Lamar, both gentlemen mak
ing beautiful and appropriate re
marks.” * * * ‘The Judge of
the Superior Court, two ex Judges
etc., are also for Bacon.”
Now, we know Judge Kilibec to
be a gentleman, and pass no re
proach on him for supporting Ba
con, even by a public speech of in
troduction and commendation be
fore a large political meeting. Gen.
Gordon would not have !-.is advo
cates to denounce those who [ire
fer Bacon. lie is loo liberal and
generous for that. His cause is
not so dcs[>ei'ate, as to prompt such
madness.
But once more: Judge B. IV.
Patterson, Recorder of Macon, the
proceedings of whose courts arc so
frequently published in the G. and
G- T., is actually slumping the
State for Bacon—actually engag
ing in healed public debates on
his side. Now wc know Judge
Patterson, as an elegant gentle
man and a fine orator. We make
no reproach on him for advocating
his friend and fellow townsman.—
But surely, if the G. and G. T. is
sincere, “Weston,” (as they call
him.) is in danger, after ail his
breath has been expended, to be
lolled into a corner, And “sat
down upon” by that refined and
discriminating enemy of ail evils
as “Another partisan Judge,” “lit
tcrlv unfit and unworthy to be
trusted with the [lowers and bon
ors” of -the bench. Look out,
"Weston!”
But no. The Telegraph will
puff Kibbee and Patterson. Clarke
got on the wrong side; and is a
victim ot the deliberate policy of
abuse and intolerance, which char
acterizes, in the judgment of all
liberal men, the editor of that
shoe’. If Bacon’s friends and he
havens much sense as they claim,
they would show it by [Hitting
some restraint on the vindictive
ness of their champion. At the
present rate. Bacon's name, re
spected at the ojieningof the cam
paign, will lie hateful, at its close,
to many fair-minded men.
Maj Bacon forced himself into
the political arena ere the dead
body of Gov. ijtcphens was remov
ed from tlic mansion, and so eon
ftisevl the vote of tlic Stale that
Judge Hoynton, (the acting Gov
ernor, and a good and pure man
who was entitled through courte
sy to hare 1 he unexpirrd term.)
was defeated. Spaulding county
the home of Judge Boynton re
sen ted the effrontery of liaeon
last Saturday, iu a primary elec
tion. by not easting a single vote
for him. Gen. Gordon received
the full vote of the county.
The red hot Bacon paper t[ la y
is spewing out so much abuse of
Gen. Gordon fails to tell us any
thing about tlic cause of Bacon
being closeted with J»e Brown at
the last convention. We ask and
hope to get a reply to this question
“Was there any thing that Brown
wanted that Bacon did not prom
ise on that occasion if Blown
would throw his influence to
Bacon?” Please don’t lose sight'
ol this fact. Bacon fights the
“Atlanta Ring” for months,, but
when the charge is brought in*
earnest, to change an oft-re|ieated
quotation a little, -bends the sn-
ple hinges of I lie knee that office
might follow fawning,”
How II Stands.
Maj. Bacoc lias 46 rotes. Of
this number lie received 1-t votes
even before the State Executive
Committee had met to fix the day
of the Convention, a tiling unheard
of before in Georgia |>olilics. So
determined, however, were Bacon's
friends to turn over their counties
for him. that they could brook no
delay, anil 7counties were rolled
up for Bacon, ss above stated.—
Nearly half of his voles he got
before Gordon was announced.—
Since then a few counties, outside
of Bibb, his home county, and
Richmond, which Mr. Walsh had
promised to turn over, have given
their votes to Maj. Bacon. These
counties are mostly located way-
down in southeast Georgia, and
four acted without even the Bacon
men abroad knowing anything
about the meeting being called.
Where he has had to meet Gen.
on Saturday last, in keeping with
the reports of his friends, and re
filling the attempts of his ene
mies to weaken him by misrepre
sentation. Eleven counties were
to act, ami it was claimed about
10 days ago that they would go
almost solidly for Maj. Bacon.
Since that time his henchman,
foreseeing tlic inevitable fall he
was sure to get, raised the song
of“fixed for Gordon,” lu which
the Telegraph is leading in d«c|
basso profundo. anil to which lime
all the little looters are singing
tenor with all their might. This
miserable subterfuge is unworthy
a passing notice among those
acquainted with the facts, but for
the information of those who are
not posted, it is necessary to
state that these tooters k now when
they say Gen. Gordon’s friends
"fixed” these Gordon counties
and brought them forward to act
for him, that they tell a falsehood
plain and unvarnished on its-face.
The music in the song is entirely
destroyed when it is known that
nearly every one of these county
meetings were controlled by cxe
culive committees favorable to
Maj. Bacon, and it is a fact that
where a eounty was considered
safe for Bacon they hunted up
the meetings, and where favorable
to Gordon action was stove off as
long as possible. .So much for
this. The action of the 11 coun
ties on Saturday proves that tlic
j ample of the suri'oiiuding country
arc alive to the interest of Gen.
Gordon. They are awake to the
fact that one of Georgia’s best
and truest citizens shall receive
rewards coimiicti.su lulu 'with his
deserts. The fierce warfare ol

or will be, changed from Gordon
to Bacon by their fearful tirade ol
tire and brimstone. . Gen. Gordon
will lie Georgia’s next Governor,
if his friends continue to do thcii
duly. “Fllcrnal vigilance is tin
price of Liberty.” lie who sleep-
will wake to find the race iron by
his adversary. The splendid vic
tories just achieved have been
gained by work. Be vigilant, and
guard his interest with re loublcd
energy. Put no trust in the np
parent lethargy of the Bacon
parly. They arc working, and
working bard. Unless every
Gordon man in the county can be
madc to fed that be is an essen
tial factor in carrying this county
tor Gordon, it is possible to lose
the victory almost within tin-
grasp of his friends. The race in
the county- will be a close one. in
the Slate it will be closer still.
Unless the friends of Gordon con
tinue’aetive, the county may In
lost, and the loss of the t wo votes
in Randolph may lose the nomi
nation to Gordon, and cause the
splendid victoiics in other conn
ties to be thrown away. Ponder
over these thoughts carefully.
They are presented in all sober
ness. and arc well worthy careful
consideration. We repeat that
the loss ot a few votes to Gordon
in this county may result in the
two votes of Randolph living
thrown to Bacon, thereby causing
him to rule into the Guhcrnalo
rial mansion on the shoulders ol
a few indifferent, but well mean
ing Gordon men in Randolph
county.

Editors Enterprise Appeal:
The proposed disposition of the
old Court House seems to have
considerably stirred up at least
two or three of our fellow citizens,
as well as to have afforded oppor
tunity for the display of some dis
quietude from fear that somebody
w'snts to violate the “fundamental
principles of the democratic par
iy,” in the premises, by appropri
aling public property to private
use.
Let us ■ endeavor to strip ibis
matter of all buncoinb and. spread
eagle tomfoolery, and bring to its
consideration plain, every day
common sense, which will look a!
it in all bearings upon the county,
as such, and the city of Cuthl>ert
as a part ami parcel of the county,
having a common interest and a
common destiny.
If a purchaser could be found
willing to risk the county’s title,
the ground within the Court
House enclosure might he sold to
private parties, lobe converted to
private use, and it might be worth
any sum, say, 500 to 1000 dol
lars. But before such sale can
take place, the authorities of tlic
county will have to d« violence
to every interest of our county,
town, and liltcrly disregard the
rights and over ride the wishes
of the property owners of the city.
It is a principle of equity that
when a man invokes justice and
equity, he must come willing and
prepared to do full justice and
equity, and not show himself be
fore the temple of justice in a
spirit of wiltul disregard of the
rights and interest of those against
whom he complains.
It8eeinslhat the Grand Jury-
must have looked at this matter
from more points of view than
a e yet dawned upon the minds
of some of their countrymen, and
that, actuated by a spirit of jus
tiee and fairness, and moved liv a
patriotic desire to perpetuate the
names and services of our hcroii
dead, who died for t'leir country,
they came to tlic eminently wise
ind just conclusion to let lb-
ground remain tlic pi-o|icrty' ol
the people, and to devote it to tin
sacred purpose mentioned above,
which should be, and is, dear to
every true Georgian. But in in
sense of the word, did they ap
propriate it, o(-.attempt to appro
prime to private uses or lor pri
vate or individual purposes oi

isfc that the old building be sold
(it is well worth it to remove ii)
and the proceeds dor.ated to aid
private patriotism anil generosity
in erecting some kind of a monu
ment on the qiublic grounds, set
aside for the purpose, as afore

warped by prejudice must be tin

It is the duty of government to lie

Editors Enterprise «fc Appeal:
I notice that the Carroll County-
Times commenting upon my arti
cle published by you, and intend
ed to defend Gen. Gordon's ac
tiling while connected with the
Southern Life Insurance Coin pa
ny, contends that granting the
statements in my premises lo be
true, in v conclusions are just and
reasonable, but that 1 left out a
most important fact in my stale
ment of the premises, and one
which vitiated Uieconclusion, that
Gordon in no way is to blame for
the unfortunate failure of this
concern. The Times then goes
on to supply the missing statu
ment of fact, and to draw- from
the amended premise* Ins own cun
elusions, w hich are derogatory to
Gen. Gordon’s integrity and busi
ness qualifications.
Now wlial is this important fact,
unstated by me, that resurrected,
makes so great a difference in the
conclusion of two honest, fair
minded men? (I kvow tiie editor
of the Times to he such, and I
trust, without egotism, alway s to
be able to claim so much fur my
self.) The Times says, "Gen. Got-
Bloated Braggart and Egotist !
Messrs. Editors:
Yonr readers . were doubtless
impressed by the “fitness of
things,” in the application to
Gen. Gordon of the above head
line, by llie editor of the Liberal
last week.
I wish I had a calendar of the
crimes [Kissibic fur a man to be
charged with, that I might check
offlhe few remaining sins Gordon
has not been accused of since be
announced himself a candidate-
There is some reason for all this,
and though it lias troubled many
of us, to understand it, at last the
reason is becoming evident, so
plain that no one now wonders
why Gordon has done so many-
vile things lo render him utterly
unworthy the support ol his peo
[«le.
The real reason for decrying
Gordon is found in the fact that
there is nothing to urge in lavor
of his opponent. This ren lers it
absolutely necessary to make it
ap|K-ar that Gordon is unworthy-
in order to justify a vote for Ba
con. You sec, there arc hut two
candidates, this vile, corrupt. j ies. Its success
braggadocio, ex rebel, half sohliei have a ort.-it deal
ner and a director.” I thought
everybody knew itiat Gen. Gordon
was made nominal President of a
branch of the company, and that
nominal directors were also ap
pointed for tin- same branch; lie
may, probably was, one of them,
but 1 have never before heard it
charged that he was the real head
and manager of tlic concern. It
has always been charged that
Gordon, white nut rcspoiiMble fur
the bu-incss mistakes of the coin
[•any, was in a position to know
the weakness of the concern, and
know ing it to be unsound and tin
safe,induced iinstisjiccting friends,
through their partiality for him.
to invest their money in its [sili
vies, and that in this he was dis
honest and untrue.
It is a fact of w hich the Times
can make perfectly certain, by a
line- addressed to the warm friend
of its editor, Gov. Colquitt, tiial
the department managed by Gen
Gordon, was in tlic soundest pos
-tilde financial condition, but as a
matter of course Hie failure
(through mismanagement, if it is
insisted upon), of the parent eon
rern. of necessity, mined its
branch and uff-priag, at the head
of which was Gordon, as agent, or
as President, just as he may bate
been styled.
How many enterprises in Flu
rope have branches in this couu
try, managed by local president*
and directors, the failure ot which
would at once wijic out in disas
ler and render worthless the prom
iscs of the local branch? Yet no
local president can in any way
manage or control the parent con Who has Eight Pounds and a Hall
ccrn in its business transactions. of Alien Flesh,
nr in any way check its course, ii
lie finds its way tending to ruin.
Nearly every enemy of Gordon
lias used his connection with this
concern lo try lo show- that he is
reckless in his business con m e
lions, and unfortunate in his Inis
iness retalions. Nut one well in
formed, responsible man has evei
charged him with inaugurating the
mistakes that swamped the South
c-rn Lift*.
Now. Mr Times, you are wrong,
or ] am. If it's you that has been
misinformed, and Gen. Gordon, af
ter all, didn't slt-al your money, ]
didn’t waste it, didn't mismanage
it, and didn't knowingly induce
yon to [ml into a rotten life insu
rance company, lie your manly,
courageous self, and try to undo
whatever of wrong you may have
done an honorable, honest, true
man, by charging your loss lo

At Macon the exjierienee of the

at the question of protecting the
city park from inundation if they
would preserve this beautiful
place intact. The gradual filling
in of the river ami the frequent
changes in the course of the chan
nel make it liable to lie inundated
at any time. The County Com
missioners have allowed the city
the use of McGee’s chain-gang
for a week or two, and a good many
outside hands have been employ
ed, and the work of raising a
levee along the river bank is go
